Music which the A Cappella Choir provides is highly appreciated and needed at North Side, but good music requires much rehearsal. Extensive time is required of each memf ber of the choir to produce pleasing results. Under the able direction of Raymond Beights, the choir vvas kept extremely busy this past year with concerts, radio programs, other engagements, and rehearsals. During the first semester alone, sixteen programs were given by A Cappella. Among these were appearances at the state convention of the Kiwanis Club, school superintendf 1 196
